       Peter, Paul and Mary was an American folk group formed in New York City in 1961 during the American folk music revival phenomenon. The trio consisted of tenor Peter Yarrow, baritone Paul Stookey, and contralto Mary Travers. The group's repertoire included songs written by Yarrow and Stookey, early songs by Bob Dylan, and covers of other folk musicians. They were enormously successful in the early- and mid-1960s, with their debut album topping the charts for weeks, and helped popularize the folk music revival. After the death of Travers in 2009, Yarrow and Stookey continued to perform as a duo under their individual names.

        Mary Travers said she was influenced by Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and the Weavers. In the documentary Peter, Paul & Mary: Carry It On — A Musical Legacy, members of the Weavers discuss how Peter, Paul and Mary took over the torch of the social commentary of folk music in the 1960s.

       The group was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999. Peter, Paul and Mary received the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2006.

         Moving is the second album by the American folk music trio Peter, Paul & Mary, released in January 1963. The third single, "Puff, the Magic Dragon," was a huge hit and a defining song for the trio, reaching #2 on the Hot 100, #1 on the Easy Listening, and #10 on the R&B Charts.

       The lead-off single, "Big Boat," failed to chart substantially, only staying on the Top 100 for two weeks, reaching #93. Cash Box described it as "an exciting, fast moving folk opus." The second single, "Settle Down (Goin' Down That Highway)," did slightly better, peaking at #56 on the Pop charts during a 6-week run; however, it did become an easy listening hit at #14.

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff

And brought him strings, and sealing wax, and other fancy stuff

 

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

 

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail

Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail

Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came

Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name

 

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

 

A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys

Painted wings and giant's rings make way for other toys

One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more

And Puff, that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar

 

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain

Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane

Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave

So Puff, that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave

 

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee.

       Herman's Hermits are an English pop group formed in 1964 in Manchester and fronted by singer Peter Noone. Known for their jaunty beat sound and Noone's tongue-in-cheek vocal style, the Hermits charted numerous transatlantic hits in the UK and in America, where they ranked as one of the most successful acts in the Beatles-led British Invasion. At the pinnacle of their popularity in 1965, the group logged twenty-four consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the US Billboard chart, and reached number one with the singles "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" and "I'm Henry VIII, I Am". Their other international hits include "I'm Into Something Good" (their sole UK number-one), "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat", "Silhouettes", "Wonderful World", "A Must to Avoid", "There's a Kind of Hush", "I Can Take or Leave Your Loving", "Something's Happening" and "My Sentimental Friend", all of which were produced by Mickie Most. They also appeared in four films, two of which were vehicles for the band.

         Their chart debut was a cover of Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "I'm into Something Good" (a then recent US Top 40 hit for Earl-Jean). In September 1964 it replaced the Kinks' "You Really Got Me" at number one in the UK singles chart and in December reached nº 13 in the US. The Hermits never topped the British charts again, but in America in 1965—when Billboard magazine ranked them America's top singles act of the year (with the Beatles at nº 2)—they topped the Hot 100 with two non-UK releases: "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" and "I’m Henry VIII, I Am” (a cover of the 1910 Cockney-style music hall song "I'm Henery the Eighth, I Am"). The nº 12 debut of "Mrs. Brown" on the Hot 100 in April 1965 was the decade's third highest (behind the Beatles' "Hey Jude" and "Get Back").

      Between late 1964 and early 1968 Herman's Hermits never failed to reach the Top 40 in the States. Six of their 11 US Top Tens were not released as A-side singles in their native UK, including the two afore-mentioned number ones plus "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" (nº 2), "Listen People" (nº. 3), a cover of Noel Gay's 1937 song "Leaning on a Lamp-post" (no. 9, under the title "Leaning on the Lamp Post") and their version of Ray Davies's "Dandy" (nº 5). Conversely they hit big in Britain between 1968 and 1970 with several major hits which failed to register in America, among them the four Top Tens "Sunshine Girl" (nº 8), "Something's Happening" (nº 6), "My Sentimental Friend" (nº 2) and "Years May Come, Years May Go" (nº 7). Their final UK hit, "Lady Barbara" (nº 13), released in the autumn of 1970, was credited to 'Peter Noone & Herman's Hermits'.

He may send you flowers

Baby, every single day

Buy you fancy clothes from Paris

And have sweet things to say

 

But I can give you love

Sweet, sweet love

Now ain't that just a little bit better

 

And he'll take you to night clubs

In a shiny limousine

Buy you furs and diamond bracelets

Make you look just like a queen

 

But I can give you love

Sweet, sweet love

Now ain't that just a little bit better

 

Love, love, love

Is what I can give ya

True, true love

As long as I may live

 

But I can give you love

Sweet, sweet love

Now ain't that just a little bit better

 

Love, love, love

Is what I can give ya

True, true love

As long as I may live

 

Well, he may want to buy

A fancy mansion on a hill

Will you live with him forever?

Baby, that ain't such a thrill

 

'Cause I can give you love

Sweet, sweet love

Now ain't that just a little bit better.

Vocês que fazem parte dessa massa
Que passa nos projetos do futuro
É duro tanto ter que caminhar
E dar muito mais do que receber
 
E ter que demonstrar sua coragem
À margem do que possa parecer
E ver que toda essa engrenagem
Já sente a ferrugem lhe comer
 
Êh-oh-oh
Vida de gado
Povo marcado, eh
Povo feliz
 
Êh-oh-oh
Vida de gado
Povo marcado, eh
Povo feliz
 
Lá fora faz um tempo confortável
A vigilância cuida do normal
Os automóveis ouvem a notícia
Os homens a publicam no jornal
 
E correm através da madrugada
A única velhice que chegou
Demoram-se na beira da estrada
E passam a contar o que sobrou
 
Êh-oh-oh
Vida de gado
Povo marcado, eh
Povo feliz
 
Êh-oh-oh
Vida de gado
Povo marcado, eh
Povo feliz
 
O povo foge da ignorância
Apesar de viver tão perto dela
E sonham com melhores tempos idos
Contemplam essa vida numa cela
Esperam nova possibilidade
De verem esse mundo se acabar
 
A Arca de Noé, o dirigível
Não voam nem se pode flutuar
Não voam nem se pode flutuar
Não voam nem se pode flutuar
 
Êh-oh-oh
Vida de gado
Povo marcado, eh
Povo feliz
 
Êh-oh-oh
Vida de gado
Povo marcado, eh
Povo feliz.

     Judith Marjorie Collins(born May 1, 1939) is an American singer-songwriter and musician with a career spanning seven decades. An Academy Award-nominated documentary director and a Grammy Award-winning recording artist, she is known for her eclectic tastes in the material she records (which has included folk music, country, show tunes, pop music, rock and roll and standards), for her social activism, and for the clarity of her voice. Her discography consists of 36 studio albums, nine live albums, numerous compilation albums, four holiday albums, and 21 singles.

        Collins' debut studio album, A Maid of Constant Sorrow, was released in 1961 and consisted of traditional folk songs. She had her first charting single with "Hard Lovin' Loser" (Nº 97) from her fifth studio album In My Life(1966), but it was the lead single from her sixth studio album Wildflowers(1967), "Both Sides, Now" – written by Joni Mitchell – that gave her international prominence. The single reached Nº 8 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart and won Collins her first Grammy Award for Best Folk Performance. She enjoyed further success with her recordings of "Someday Soon", "Chelsea Morning" (also written by Mitchell), "Amazing Grace", "Turn! Turn! Turn!", and "Cook with Honey".

        Collins experienced the biggest success of her career with her recording of Stephen Sondheim's "Send in the Clowns" from her tenth studio album Judith(1975). The single peaked at Nº 36 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart in 1975 and then again in 1977 at Nº 19, spending 27 non-consecutive weeks on the chart and earning her a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female, as well as a Grammy Award for Sondheim for Song of the Year. Judith would also become her best-selling studio album; it was certified Gold by the RIAA in 1975 for sales of over 500,000 copies and Platinum in 1996 for sales of over 1,000,000 copies.

         In 2017, Collins's rendition of the song "Amazing Grace" was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or artistically significant". That same year, she received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Folk Album for Silver Skies Blue with Ari Hest. In 2019 at the age of 80, she scored her first Nº 1 album on an American Billboard Chart with Winter Stories, a duet album with Norwegian singer, songwriter, and guitarist Jonas Fjeld featuring Chatham County Line. In 2022, she released her first studio album of all original material, entitled Spellbound.

        Who Knows Where the Time Goes is the seventh studio album by American singer and songwriter Judy Collins, released by Elektra Records in 1968. It peaked at Nº 29 on the Billboard 200 charts.

       The album was recorded live in the studio and was Collins' first studio album to be recorded in Los Angeles. Produced by David Anderle, the album features numerous well-known musicians, including Stephen Stills(credited as "Steven Stills"). The songs include her own composition "My Father", Ian Tyson's "Someday Soon" (which would go on to become one of Collins' signature songs), two Leonard Cohen compositions ("Story of Isaac" and "Bird on the Wire"), the traditional murder ballad "Pretty Polly", and the title song, "Who Knows Where the Time Goes", composed by Sandy Denny.

       Two versions of the song "Who Knows Where the Time Goes" were released. Version 1 with only vocal, two guitars, and bass appeared on the B-side of "Both Sides Now", on the soundtrack to the 1968 film The Subject Was Roses, and on the compilation album Colors of the Day. Version 2 is a composite: the first verse is the same take as version 1, but with everything remixed to the left channel, then crossfading to a different recording with a larger arrangement, modulated to a different key. Version 2 appears on the album.

      Collins' cover of Joni Mitchell's "Chelsea Morning" was recorded during the Who Knows Where the Time Goes sessions, but not included on the album; however, a single release of the song, with "Pretty Polly" as the B-side, charted in August 1969.

   "Hello, Hooray", written by Canadian singer-songwriter Rolf Kempf, was later covered as the opening track on Alice Cooper's 1973 album Billion Dollar Babies.

       In 1969, the album was certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of over 500,000 copies in the US

Across the morning sky,

All the bird are leaving,

Ah, how can they know it's time to go?

Before the winter fire,

We'll still be dreaming.

I do not count the time

 

Who knows where the time goes?

Who knows where the time goes?

 

Sad deserted shore,

Your fickle friends are leaving,

Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go,

But I will still be here,

I have no thought of leaving.

I do not count the time

 

Who knows where the time goes?

Who knows where the time goes?

 

And I'm not alone,

When my love is near me,

And I know, it will be so, till it's time to go,

So come the storms of winter ,

And then the birds of spring again.

I do not feel the time

 

Who knows how my love grows?

Who knows where the time goes?

 

La la la la la la...

Um um um um ...

Do do do do du...

Ah ah ah ah ah...

Um um um um...

Oh, Mary, this London's a wonderful sight
With people here working by day and by night
They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat
But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street
At least when I asked them, that's what I was told
So I just took a hand at this diggin' for gold
But for all that I've found there, I might as well be
In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
 
I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed
As to how the fine ladies of London were dressed
But if you'll believe me, when asked to a ball
They don't wear no tops to their dresses at all
Oh, I've seen them myself and you could not in truth
Tell if they were bound for a ball or a bath
Don't be startin' them fashions now, Mary McRee,
In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
 
There's beautiful girls here, oh, never you mind
Beautiful shapes Nature never designed
Lovely complexions of roses and cream
But let me remark with regard to the same
That if at those roses you venture to sit
The colors might all come away on your lip
So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me
In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
 
You remember young Diddy McClaren, of course
But he's over here with the rest of the force
I saw him one day as he stood on the strand
Stopped all the traffic with a wave of his hand
As we were talking of days that are gone
The whole town of London stood there to look on
But for all his great powers, he's wishful like me
To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea.

I shouldn't say it, but I'm starting to think I care

I've had a drink, you probably think my judgement isn't clear

And it's getting late now, we're a long way from our homes

Before you leave, before you grieve, there's one thing you should know

 

When you hold me, when you hold me in your arms

Oh, when you hold me, yeah I can feel your heart

When you hold me, when you hold me in your arms

Oh, when you hold me, yeah I can feel your heart beating

 

Suddenly I'm standing on a treetop up so high

And all the songs, and all the poems, suddenly they're right

And I'm dumbfounded by the breaths of your self control

But I don't care 'cause you're here, and you and I both know

 

When you hold me, when you hold me in your arms

Oh, when you hold me, yeah I'm picking out the stars

When you hold me, when you hold me in your arms

Oh, when you hold me, yeah I can feel your heart beating

 

Oh, when you hold me, hold me in your arms

Hold me, I can feel your heart

Hold me, when you hold me in your arms

        The Eagles are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1971. With five number-one singles and six number-one albums, six Grammy Awards and five American Music Awards, the Eagles were one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s in North America. Founding members Glenn Frey(guitars, vocals), Don Henley (drums, vocals), Bernie Leadon(guitars, vocals), and Randy Meisner(bass guitar, vocals) were recruited by Linda Ronstadt as band members, some touring with her, and all playing on her third solo album, before venturing out on their own on David Geffen's new Asylum Records label.

    Their debut, Eagles(1972), spawned two top-20 singles in the US and Canada: "Take It Easy" and "Witchy Woman". The next year's follow-up, Desperado, peaked at only number 41 in the US, although "Desperado" became a popular track. In 1974, guitarist Don Felder joined, and On the Border produced the top 40 hit "Already Gone" and the Eagles' first number-one song in the US and Canada, "Best of My Love", which made the top 15 in Australia, their first hit overseas. In 1975, the album One of These Nights became their first number-one album in the US and a top-10 album in many countries. It included the US number-one hit "One of These Nights", which was their first top-10 hit outside of North America, and US top-five songs "Lyin' Eyes" and "Take It to the Limit". Also in 1975, guitarist and vocalist Joe Walsh replaced Leadon.

    Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975)(1976) is the best-selling album in the United States, with 38million sold, and primed the public for the late 1976 release of Hotel California, which would sell more than 26million copies in the US (ranking 3rd all-time for US sales), and more than 32million copies worldwide. The album yielded two number-one singles in the US and Canada, "New Kid in Town" and "Hotel California", the latter of which became their only top-10 hit in the United Kingdom, while also reaching the top 10 in New Zealand and many European countries, including number two in France.

        Meisner was replaced by Timothy B. Schmit in 1977. The Eagles released their last studio album for nearly 28 years in 1979 with The Long Run, spawning the North American number-one song "Heartache Tonight", which became their biggest hit in Australia(number 13), and the North American top-10 hits "The Long Run" and "I Can't Tell You Why". The Eagles broke up in 1980 but reunited in 1994 for the album Hell Freezes Over, a mix of live and new studio tracks, and toured consistently. In 2007, the Eagles released Long Road Out of Eden, their sixth number-one album in the US, and in 2008 launched the Long Road Out of Eden Tour. In 2013, they began the extended History of the Eagles Tour in conjunction with the documentary release, History of the Eagles. Following Frey's death in January 2016, the Eagles re-formed in 2017, with Glenn's son Deacon Frey and Vince Gill sharing lead vocals for Frey's songs prior to the former's departure in 2022.

      The Eagles are one of the world's best-selling bands, having sold more than 200million records, including 100million sold in US alone. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and were ranked number 75 on Rolling Stone's 2004 list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time"

I was standing

All alone against the world outside

You were searching

For a place to hide

 

Lost and lonely

Now you've given me the will to survive

When we're hungry

Love will keep us alive

 

Don't you worry

Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride

The world is changing

Right before your eyes

 

Now I've found you

There's no more emptiness inside

When we're hungry

Love will keep us alive

 

I would die for you

Climb the highest mountain

Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do

 

Now I've found you

There's no more emptiness inside

When we're hungry

Love will keep us alive
